You are invited

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

You are invited

You are invited to a Winter Ski Lodge Murder Mystery! 

Who: Everyone is invited to join. One of you is a murderer, but which one? 

What: This is a murder mystery. Every day, one person will die. Who is it? That's your job to figure out.

When: The game will begin on January 1 and end whenever it ends.

Where: The Ski Lodge. In other words, this page.

RSVP: I don't really care as long as you join sometime in December.

Various sundry rules and explanations:

-Each day I will write the story (probably in the morning or right after I get home if I have school). After that, you're welcome and encouraged to write your own view of the day.

-Big one: This isn't violent or gory.

-The motto: The funnier, the better.

-Basic geography does not apply. The Ski Lodge and Surrounding Territories more or less rewrites itself depending on how I want you guys to die.

-I don't decide who dies, so it's completely impartial. I pull everyone's names out of the Sugarbowl. The murderer comes out first (so I can keep track, really) and then I just draw a new name every day.

-Yes, the Sugarbowl is a Sugarbowl. I couldn't find a good hat the first time I wanted to do this and there is actually a skiing place in California called the Sugarbowl, so I thought, well, why not? It's more or less my Death Note.

-Pleeaaaassseee don't ask me to give you some long ridiculous name to put in the Sugarbowl. "Melody the Awesome Authority on all things Disney who is really Awesome" is so large, of course it's going to be pulled out right away.

-Like any good cartoon, logic and physics are overrated.

I hope you can join us.

-The Omnipotent Narrator

My history teacher is amazing. He insists that cupcakes are poisoned and will occasionally bring up lemmings in his lectures.

Whew! Glad I didn't die today. I am hoping for murderer, but just like everybody else, I think S.C. is.

Day 22

It's down to the final three here on today's episode of Survivor: Ski Lodge

SC: We're surviving? I thought it was more like People Dying: Ski Lodge.

Grace: Isn't that just Game of Thrones in a Ski Lodge

BHR: No, this is way too kid-friendly to be Game of Thrones. What would the TV rating on this be, if it was a TV show? TV-Y7-FV? That sounds about right.

Grace: I don't know, I'd put up a "parental guidance suggested" sign.

SC: "Parents: Don't let your children go off with mysterious narrators to mysterious ski lodges, or else they might have a fun time. Never let your children have a fun time. They might grow up to be happy, productive individuals in society, which means your dreams of having a little congressman or congresswoman will fly right out the window. Also, parents, watch out for demon llamas and buy Westing Paper Products." The kind of parental guidance that guides the parent?

Grace: Exactly!

Tovah was voted off the island, er, ski mountain. Locked out of the ski lodge over night, Tovah hoped her last few hours on Earth weren't going to be spent freezing to death. Her hoping paid off; instead of becoming a Tovah-sicle, she was attacked by some ravenous kudzu. And that is why you don't support invasive species!

BHR: Hey, Theo's Shirley Bassey bush showed up outside our front door! Wait a minute, that doesn't look quite like a bush...

*cue Pokemon battle music* 

Wild KUDZU appeared! Go! BLONDE HEROINES RULE!

What will BLONDE HEROINES RULE do?

Wild KUDZU uses TAUNT!

"Hey, girly, you wanna mess with me? You're gonna go down. You're gonna be sleeping with the worms when I'm done with ya, little girl."

BLONDE HEROINES RULE uses DRAW!

A cowgirl hat appears!

Western music begins to play!

"Oh, yeah? You ain't see nothin' yet, kudzu. My old enemy, today's the day you die."

KUDZU uses FLAIL!

"Oh Gosh! No! No! Don't point that thing at me! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for every bad thing I ever did! Ice Plant, I've always loved you! I just wanted you to know before I die!" 

BLONDE HEROINES RULE uses FLAMETHROWER!

It's super effective! 

KUDZU uses SCREECH!

"I'm meltinnnnnggggg!"

Wild KUDZU fainted!

BLONDE HEROINES RULE gained 223 EXP points!

BHR: All in a day's work! 

Alas, Tovah could not be saved from the kudzu in time and I don't think the flamethrower helped much either. 

Tovah's ghost: Really? You flamethrowered me?

BHR: I'm sorry! I was going for the kudzu!

Tovah: It's okay, I was dead anyway. But the person who locked me out is really going to get their butt kicked!

Meanwhile...

SC: Grace, the fire department's here again.

Grace: Uggh, not again! Why does this always happen with BHR around?

SC: Are they going to give us another bill again?

Grace: Oh, no! We can't pay now that Red's dead! He was covering all the bills!

SC: What do we do?

Grace: Quick! JLM, where are you?

JLM: Right here, I--ow!

Grace: Sorry, but I have to do this. SC, help me throw her out the window so she rolls down that hill.

SC: I have a bad feeling about this.

Grace: HEY! LOOK! FIREPEOPLE! A DEAD GIRL JUST ROLLED DOWN THAT HILL! YOU SHOULD GO CHECK TO SEE IF SHE'S OKAY!

SC: Come on, they're not going to fall for that--wait, they did? Ha! How stupid are they?

Grace: Genius Grace strikes again. 

Rest in peace, Tovah. Rest in peace.

How many people are left now?

SC: *draws sword*  

SC: Well girls, one of us is the murderer, and I'm hoping to high heaven it ain't one of you.

SC: *prepares the ramparts*

*draws bow*

Bring it on!

There is a bowl of strawberries on the table. I suspect they're poisonous, so I'll just have to eat them all to find out.

You stole that from The Hunger Games (movie). You haven't read The Hunger Games, have you?
